Chapter 171 - One Disaster Saves Other...
A shrill sound pierced her ears as a bullet whipped across her. The target wasn"t her but the wall behind her. Qin Chanpu didn"t mean to hurt her, it was a warning. Ac action that would embed fear in her heart and make her realize, this thing was real.
"It seems the drugs have really muddled your judgment." Qin Chanpu commented upon coming across her fearless eyes. For some reason, he was beginning to lose the feeling of control and power he had felt over this woman. No matter what he said or did, her chilling gaze wouldn"t break. There wasn"t even a shadow of fear in those clear, limpid eyes as they stared at him. A girl like her should have started crying and screaming at the sight of a weapon that could take her life, let alone being aimed at by said weapon. But Chen Yi response was quite on the contrary.
"I"ll give you some time." Qin Chanpu thought hard and came to a decision. "Think it over, consider your situation. Once you have come to your senses, you will realize resistance is futile."
Qin Chanpu walked out. Xuan Wen followed him behind. "Manager Qin... Why are you going easy on her? We don"t have time!"
"Easy. Did you not see how she didn"t even flinch once I fired the shot? With her mentally like this, If we force her to contact Su Xiuying as of yet, she might do the opposite thing."
"But with the situation being so urgent, in the past with other girls... I mean we could use some torture."
At this, Qin Chanpu broke into a creepy smile. Who knew what he had in his mind as he said. "Now now, we don"t want to ruin that pretty face for no reason."
"But Manager... Are you confident she would agree with us? Just like this?"
"Of course. She is someone who thinks from her brain. From her mastermind everything is behind over back, she is not simple. She should know what is best for her. Her disobedience would only cause her pain." Qin Chanpu said before adding. "Besides, we still have a whole night to us. If she still hasn"t figured it out by then, we can use the typical methods. After getting a taste of what pain actually is, she would strip if we asked her, dance if we asked her."
Although Xuan Wen didn"t agree that they should delay this matter, he stayed silent. His Manager was a wise person. Surely he would not be mistaken.
While Chen Yi struggled alone in the dark, on the other side Li Luxian people weren"t having an easy time.
"Where could Boss wife have gone to. How could she disappear all of sudden?" Zhang Xin had his people run all the way to Fu entertainment in stealth but to no avail. They have recovered the CCTV. Finding Chen Yi climbing into a taxi with a somewhat dazed expression, they immediately looked for the car number plate.
But it was blank.
For it to be blank and for Chen Yi to appear staggering across the road to get into the car, everything screamed one word "Suspicious!"
Someone had set a trap against her!
Someone had kidnapped Boss"s wife!
Everything had been set into action. From searching up her phone to pulling down all the CCTVs of the entire area. But to go through it all at once, would take time. And with Boss wife disappearance, time was like a timing bomb.
The more time pa.s.sed, the more the chances something bad would happen to her.
As he fretted over how to break this news to his Boss, Zhang Yufang came back. "You... Where had you gone to? How are you here? Why your location tag didn"t notify me."
"At that time I had picked onto some people monitoring us. As their level appeared to be quite high. If I notified the headquarters I feared they might have noticed and withdrawn."
"So you managed to get to them? Is that why your location tag is offline?"
Zhang Yufang shook his head as an answer to his first question before saying. "As I said, they were proficient. They detected me first. As for my location tag, I had put it on Boss wife since I couldn"t accompany her," Zhang Yufang said before finally noticing the atmosphere seemed to be a bit off. "Why is everyone so tense... Wait, is Boss wife alright?"
...
"Time"s up!"
Chen Yi didn"t know how long it had been since the last time she heard any sound.
She had no idea what drug they had used against her. But getting up alone was very difficult. She had managed to walk across the bas.e.m.e.nt, feeling up the walls through her palms in the dark. Coming upon the door, she had found it locked.
Sighing, she had gone back to the corner and sat quietly.
With a "flick" the lights were turned on. Qin Chanpu walked in with Xuan Wen. Chen Yi squinted her eyes once the irritatingly bright lights almost blinded her.
Kicking up a chair in front of Chen Yi, Qin Chanpu grabbed out a phone and dialled a number. "This is Su Xiuying. I want you to tell her that she must withdraw by tomorrow."
"f.u.c.k off!" Chen Yi said level headedly. She shoved the phone away. It hit the floor and broke into pieces.
Qin Chanpu sauntered inside with confidence, fully expecting to find a cooperative and well-behaving Chen Yi, was left speechless. In anger, he spat. "Alright, I tried to be gentle with you!"
But before he could take the charge, Chen Yi had already lept forward. With a piece of broken gla.s.s in her hands, she had Qin Chanpu throat in her grip. Just above the jugular vein.
"What the f.u.c.k!" Qin Chanpu struggled but Chen Yi pushed the shard deep into his flesh, tearing the skin. A stream of blood trickled down. Qin Chanpu panicked, ceasing his movements.
What he didn"t know with the drug knocking out the strength from Chen Yi, if he had struggled a bit more, Chen Yi would not have been able to hold him down.
Chen Yi made use of his fear. Despite the drug slowing down her movements, she had the other party"s weakness in her hands. Although she knew it was not enough, it was better than nothing. She could negotiate with it.
"Help me!" Qin Chanpu screamed at Xuan Wen who stood frozen at a distance.
"One step and I"ll slit his throat," Chen Yi said those words in an even tone. It didn"t feel like she was joking.
"Don"t... Stop, don"t come closer!" Qin Chanpu screamed at Xuan Wen to stop. He was like a shaking rabbit caught in a trap.
Xuan Wen had listened and acquiesced. But soon his eyes caught the slight trembling of Chen Yi arms, her laboured breathing. Recalling back to the drug that had been administrated, there was no way she was as strong as she put up the appearance off. She was, most likely, pushing herself to her limits.
Thinking up to that Xuan Wen leapt forward. Qin Chanpu screamed and began to struggle. For both of them behaving as such, it became impossible for Chen Yi to handle. With a shove, her back hit the concrete and she slid down the wall. Her eyes were dizzy, her heart pounding alarmingly fast.
It was at this time sounds of gunshots emerged from outside.
